Handlebars Hex Lab Flat

All Box handlebars are designed and manufactured using oversized technology. The handlebars serve a double purpose as they contribute to both steering and pedalling stiffness. By strategically varying the wall thicknesses and tube diameters, Box has shifted material from 3 low-stress areas to high-load zones. This has significantly minimized twisting and enhanced responsiveness. At the same time, Box has increased pedalling stiffness by providing resistance to the "lift" phenomenon. There's no point in pushing hard on your pedals if you can't pull on your handlebars and deliver that power. Power can easily be lost due to handlebar deflection, which can lead to poor power transfer and steering control. In combination with Box's other oversized components, you'll benefit from increased responsiveness and reduced latency.

Key differences: this particular handlebar model is designed for taller riders. Titanium allows for exploring the structural stiffness of steel but without the weight compromise. It's an exotic solution similar to carbon fibre but delivers a slightly different outcome for the savvy rider. Carbon will contribute to a more aggressive steering response, while titanium will be very responsive but more refined.
